A BKETOH OF HIS ACTIVE LIFE. 1 - - Mi» Cours« as a Public .Hau and Mis Record to sh« state Which Um trusted aud Honored Him. ! • WHAT HE HAS DONE The Gazette to day presents to its readers the portrait of Charles B. Lore, I 1 ;s ; il!» v v l 1 ' M 1 engaged iu the lumber business, and proba bly did more in that line than any firm in the State. The nominee for Congress was named after bis father's partner. Mr. Lore first went to school to the dis pedagogue and in 1SS7 attended the letown Academy where he was pre Dick trict Midd pareil for College. In 1844 he entered inson College. There he took the lead in his studies and so well did be apply himself that in 1852 he graduated, taking first honors in an unusually good class of 42 students. At once he entered the law office oi Judge John K. Findley, where he remained but a short time, being called home by the news of his brother's death,and being obliged to take charge of his mother's affairs. His father died in 1850. In 1858 Mr. Lore entered the Philadelphia Confer ence as a minister and was stationed at Princess Anne, Maryland. He only remained one year, aud although pressed to remain in the Conference he felt lt was not his calling and surrendered his parchment at the next Conference. That was in 1859. In that year he again took up the study of law, this time In the office of the late Hon. Daniel M. Bates in this city, He was admitted to the bar in 1861, Chief Justice Gilpin being on tho bench. At the same time the late Samuel M. Harrington was admitted. Mr. Lore at once began the practice of law at 702 Market street, and he has never B. * O. GOKH THROUGH. Council Unanimous That the New Rail road Is a Public Nccosstty—A Vice Presi dent's Statement of What Is to He Done. All the members were present at the meet ing of City Council last evening, with Presi dent Conrad In the chair. Upon motion of Mr. Quinn the reading ot the minutes was dispensed with. Mr. Beecher moved that, as there was very important business to come before the Council, and some ot the members on the opposite side of the house desired to get away early, of business be suspended and the rules set aside, and a report from the Law Committee be received. The motion was carried. The Law Committee reporte 1 that the ordi nance permitting the Delaware and Western Railroad Company to run their road through the northwestern part of the city contained nothing to conflict with the city charter and recommended that the ordinance be adopted. The report was received and Samuel Spencer, third vice president of the Balti more and Ohio Railroad Company, was per mitted to make a few remarks_concernlng the intention of his com line had been carefully where it would be best aud do both the com pany and the city the most good. They would place a depot convenient to that part of the city which was rapidly growing. It had been the aim of the company to present a simple ordinance in terms plain aud easily understood and they only asked the privi ledge to make a first-class road through the city. It was the intention of the company, he said, to begin work as soon as' possible after the passage of the ordtnauce, taking into consideration the giving out of contracts. "We have ex amined the subject carefully," he said. "We know what we want,our decisions are made, and we are prepared to go on as soon as the city of Wilmington gives us the privileges requested." The road, he added, w'ould be first-class in character. It will l>c a tion of a road between Baltimore and York on the way to New York. By the charter granted them by the State of Dela ware they work In this only gave them 18 months to complete the heaviest portion of the route, and the most critical portion of in Delaware, which consisted long bridge over the Brandywine. They asked for the passage of the ordinance now, as work must commence at once, without delay, as it was not desired to ask the Leg islature for the continuance of time. The road was to be fully completed in eighteen months. Hoping that the request would be granted the speaker finished. The ordi nance was then read by its sections, where upon Mr. Beecher offered a supplementary section, which provided that the grades of Scott aud Fourteenth streets and Gilpin avenue be so arranged that the new road would pass over them on bridges the same as at Delaware avenue, and not on a level with the streets. After a few unimportant questions by several of the members a vote upon the ordinance passed without a dissenting voice aud be came a law of the city. The regular order of business was then taken up and the miscellaneous pay-roll for October amounting to fl,464.49, was taken up, passed, and orclers directed to be drawn for the several amounts named. A petition for a street lamp at Tenth and Bennett streets was recommended to be granted and the report accepted, The monthly pay-roll of the police for October amounting to f2,060.68, was passed, The Engrossment Committee reported hav the regular order He said the and placed pany. located por New were limited to complete the State by March 1, 1884.

Charles Brown Lore, the nominee of the Democrats aa the Congressl<Sial candidate, is so well known to tb# people of his native ! State as to need no introduction and so 1 favorably known that any word of commen- dation is unnecessary. He was born at Odessa, then Cantwell's Bridge, on March 16, 183]. His fatter was Eidad Lore, a prominent citizen of that ! place. Eidad Lore was one of the firm of • Brown & Lore, the other member being Charles Browo, now of Dover and then of Philadelphia, I r "' The firm of Brown Jt Lore was extensively moved from that place, very successful as a lawyer, having the largest practice in the He has only been a candidate for public office once before—in 1860, when he rau for the Legislature agalust Edward Betts, now State Senator. In that, year the Republicans swept the county ticket. In 1862 h He has been county. and elected their entire e was appointed Commis sioner of the Draft in New Castle county by Governor Burton. He was appointed a Trustee of Delaware College, a position he still holds, and he was one of the incor porators of the Home for Friendless Chil dren, still being one of the trustees of that institution. In 1855-57 he was Clerk of the House of Representatives. In 1869 Mr. Lore was appointed Attorney Geueral by Governor 8aulsbury aud served iu that capacity until 1874.

The Youiifr Mi>n's Democratic Club bad a rousing rally lu the Opera Houee last night, which wee s feature of the campaign. The bouae was crowded and the atage w handsomely decorated. Hanging More It in giant letters of evergreen wen the words "Stockley and Lore." On the stage sat many prominent people and the audience was largely compoeed of .the young Demo cratic voters of Wilmington. John J. Wood called the meeting to order, and on his motion Harry Emmons, Esq., was made chairman, and a great many young men vice présidente and secretaries. Mr. Emmons In assuming the chair la well gave thanks of the great chosen and earnest words for the honor, and spoke issues involved in this campaign, then introduced James L. Wolcott, Secretary of State, who spoke for about 20 minutes with much earnest He QMB. He diMUMed State laauea la a general r Delà way, speaking of the high credit o ware at home and abroad and saying this showed that her interest« were fo good hands. The men who wanted to govern her were those who had shown themselves to be utterly uuworthy of confidence. Their leader had asked not long ago from this stage where would the names of Senators Bay ard and Saulsbury be a hundred years from hence l I will tell him where his uame will be in that time—safely enshriued in the criminal records of the District of Colum bia. Secretary Wolcott took up the quea tion of mixed schools, aud argued that there was a tendency in the Republican party toward them and they would sorely conn in case of Republican success in Delaware. Senator Bayard then introduced the Hon. William Pinkney Whyte, Mayor of Baltl more, in a few well-chosen and eloquent words. The endorsement was warm aud the crowd finally got on its feet and cheered when Maryland 7 s honored son stepped be fore the footlights. Mayor White spoke in the most flattering terms of Delaware, its people and its re nowned Senator. The name of Bayard [applause] would endure as long as the Republic should last. It was associated with all that was good, and true, and patriotic in our history, warmly applauded any movement which looked to bringing young men forward in polities, and commended the young Demo crats of Wilmington for what they had done aud were doing. There had been but little party politics of late, but he was in favor of party, and believed that all matters of a national erly conducted by party and within party. The speaker with rare eloquence went ou to relate the attempts of the Democratic party to get into power since 1S72. In that year if the voice of a Bayard had been fol lowed the Democratic party would not have Greely. H several campaigns and dwelt at great length upon that when Tilden was elected, but the Bee was stolen lor Hayes. He urged that Delaware should be kept where 6he is now. All National and State issues were in favor oi the Democratic party being in power. Don't 1st her lose her Democratic lustre. Don't let her go about uncertain couree like this land ship I have heard people ridicule. The favor aud credit of the State and the sterling worth of her representatives were dwelt upon, aud after paying a high tribute to Mr. Bayard for his position m the National Congress, particularly that on the currency question and the river aud harbor bill, he declared that Maryland would be true to the great cause, aud that he hod no reaaou to doubt that Delaware would be in the old column. nature could be prop gone lor Horace e reviewed the of in SENATOR BAYARD'S SPKRCB. Calls were new made for Senator Bayard and responding he said: Fellow Citizens : I have come hare to night to have a pleasure which t have en joyed—the privilege of introducing the honored gentleman who bos Just spoken and of hearing him. X did not come bora to make a speech and I am not prepared to do it, but it may be well for me to coll atten tion to the matter of local issues Involved In this campaign, as I did when I last spoke here. At that time I felt it aay duty to warn you against men who have taken the Republican party by tha throat and attempt to govern this State through It. I spoke to you plainly. I could not help but do this—it was my duty. What I told you then was stated candidly and honestly. While I pointed out the danger to come from having such rulers as you will have if Republican party succeeds, I at the same time gave the facts and the records. Has there been any denial of the truth of my assertions? Nota word and nearly a month has passed. The record grows blacker still. Look at your imagine what will be t who want to lead get the leadership. Was there ever any thing whispered in this State, under Democratic rule, as it has been, that the* Attorney-General of this State had ac cepted a bribe to acquit a murderer ? Look in your papers to-day and see what other people have done." The speaker then went on to draw a sad picture ot what the State would be were it placed in these hands. After referring to the corruption of the city government of Philadelphia under a Republican adminis tration and Phipps' stealing of $75,000 a year, twice as much as it cost to run the State Government of Delaware, he said the people were right in breaking It up. Mr. Bayard repeated his challenge to any one to give the name, date and itemized fact« concern! ing Democratic officials in Democrats did not want general charges. They had been charged with defalcations and the accounts had been published and found square to the dollar. Purnal J. Lynch had been charged with defalcation, but his books were open. If they can he proved against the Demo crats they will confess themselves unworthy of confidence. Mr. Bayard'« statement that he might meet the audienee again before the election was greeted with applause hut he said he had other audiences to address in other parts of the 8tate and might uot be oble to speak here again. After again warning the people against tbe men whose records were published in the doily papers of yesterday, Mr. Bayard closed with the statement that he was confident of Democratic success. Tbe meeting closed with enthusiastic cheers tor Mayor White, Mr. Bayard and Stockley and Lore. papers to-day, and he result if the men ng any default Dclaware. The IMek Should Doff HU Hot.
